MANCHESTER CITY star Leroy Sane has revealed he rejected Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp's advances in the summer of 2016.

Sane is currently in his second season at Manchester City after signin from Bundesliga side Schalke just under 18 months ago.

The Germany international has been in stunning form for Pep Guardiola's side this season, helping them win 20 of their 22 Premier League games and opening up a 15 point lead over Manchester United in the process.

And Sane has now revealed that he nearly signed for Liverpool, but he rebuffed the approaches of Klopp to move to City instead.

"Yes, I was also talking with them," the 22-year-old said when quizzed about a failed move to Merseyside.

"Jurgen was calling me too, talking to me. That was before I joined City.
